Comment from Declan


I love this natural, relaxed pose, and the trust is evident as she looks straight down the barrel of the camera!
The skin tones are perfect!
This is a lovely photo of your daughter!
Lighting and DOF are both great!
Really nice work. And I'm sure that she's just as proud of you!
Robin :o)

A really good image willie. Her expression against the tree gives a dreamy kind of feel.

Your image is a tad soft as it should be, and the lighting is good but a little flat. I bet she loves this shot, as she should.

Good job here Willie.

    Thank you larry! It was a bright sunny day, but this was in a wooded area in the shade.
Comment from Jane Jenkins


Mandy is a lovely lady. I like her natural expression because it doesn't show any self consciousness that sometimes shows up in close in photos like this. Great color, clarity and depth. Good lighting. Nice variety of textures.

It's nice how you framed your daughter with the tree to one side and the green forest on the other side and top. The good use of DOF brings your focus to the foreground to highlight your subject. nice detail and lighting,thanks for sharing...Thomas

great fading, great clarity in the image, i like the way the tree and her shirt play off each other for movement. great focus the eyes seem a bit dulled, almost sad , great photo though

good capture willie, She looks pretty serious here, head against tree is good. Background good, the focus and DOF is good. did you help pose her? I would have done one other thing, her head position is great, leave that as it, just have her turn her right shoulder more towards the camera. I found that having the shoulders one further in front than the other and having the head turned a bit always makes them look better, if you have the chance to position them
Good work
Jim

    thank you so much! I did have the chance, I did not know about the shoulder. Thanks for the tip. I need all the help I can get!

this is creatively done, her sober face brings on the feeling of thought, her eyes are beautifully focus and she kind of remind my of a great friend

You must be very pleased with this!
It immediately caches your attention the engagement of the subject with the camera is wonderful and she looks relaxed.

Focus DOF, lighting and colours are all good.

Mandy has a great image to keep with her as do you. Thanks for sharing.
